While the feature set remains the same, the post claims that the update will be deployed"before Christmas this year." Also:

What’s happening with Red Button?
On TiVo, we’ve got a Red Button link to our full BBC iPlayer app on BBC
channels and we’re working with our channel partners to get the Red
Button extended to other channels.

We’re hoping to have a wider range of red button services by early next
year. TiVo customers can check our progress in the Customer News area in
Help on their TiVo Box.

What’s happening with reminders?
With the ability to record 3 simultaneous programmes we thought that
reminders wouldn’t be necessary anymore. We now know that customers miss
the feature enormously and we are looking at introducing them in a
future release.

If true, this appears to be mixed news. On the plus side, it appears that reminders are coming to TiVo (and 72% of you will be happy about that). On the down side, those TiVo customers hoping to actually use Reminders and Red Button Services this side of Xmas may be disappointed.
